SEARCHING FOR AN
ANDERSON
.
I am searching for a relative who was a native of Michigan, Gratiot
County to be exact. He moved to Colorado in the mid to late 1800's
and established a sheep farm. Shortly thereafter he died. (He
froze to death in an abandoned well during a snowstorm.) Apparently
there was a search for his kin back in Michigan, but his father
refused to believe his son had died and so the estate was never
officially settled(or at least as far as the family knows). So
if you are familiar with this story or know of Joe
ANDERSON
son of Alfred
ANDERSON
and a native of GRATIOT COUNTY,
MICHIGAN please contact me.
Thank you.

Rosie Etta
BARNES
b. Denver,
CO January 21, 1882. Brother James (Barns)
Barnes
listed
during the the 1910 Oklahoma Census as 25 years of age, born in
Colorado while living with Rosie and "Bud" in Oklahoma,
this would place his birth date about 1885, both siblings listed
parents as born in Arkansas.
Rosie Etta
Barnes
met Henry Sylvester
Lawley
in
Decatur, AR in 1899, they married in Hector, Pope County, AR in
1899. Rosie and Henry (Bud)
Lawley
parented five children,
three born in Hector, AR and two born in Johnston County, Oklahoma.
Rosie Etta
Barnes Lawley
died of a burst appendix in 1913
and she and her husband are buried in the Emet Cemetery near Milburn,
OK. The only documents to date are a marriage license and the
OK census showing a Rosie Etta
Barnes
.
I would appreciate any information that may be available on the
Barnes
family in Colorado.
Thank you.

Anne Marie
BERGE LEOPOLD
was born at Valders, Manitowoc Co., WI, 3 Apr 1868. She married
a man by the name of
LEOPOLD
and lived somewhere in Colorado.
We know of two children: Bertha
LEOPOLD
, who married Harold
GATES
, and Helen
LEOPOLD
, who is said to have been
adopted after her father's death. Details are sketchy, but I would
welcome any information on these people and their descendants.

I would like to hear from anyone
researching the
Bethune
name. My husband's 2x great grandfather
William Densmore
BETHUNE
born May 1860 in TN lived in Colorado
in 1885. He had a daughter named Maude who was born here. He later
moved to Arkansas.

I have William's descendents and
parents and grandparents as well as cousins to share. I would
like to locate siblings for William. Can you kelp me?

I know that this is a long shot,
but I am frustrated while working on my family history. My grandmother
was named Florence Alice
Williams
. She was born October
9, 1904. She had siblings by the name of Minnie and Frank. My
problem is the only information that I have about her pass is
that she and her siblings lived in many orphanages in Colorado
since their mother passed away while they were young. They believed
their mothers surname to be
Black
. Their father couln't
keep them due to his job working on the railroad. Any helpful
advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading my post!

Looking for any information regarding
my grandparents William N.
Coleman
and Letha R.
Estes
or
Esters

Colorado. I assume it was before my mother was born in the year
1920. In 1920 they moved to Michigan. William was born in Kansas
in the year 1889 and Letha was born in Michigan in the year 1891.
I assume they lived in Colorado sometime between 1889 and 1920.
Letha parents were Harry
Estes
or
Esters
and Salina
Estes
or
Esters
. Williams parents were Dr.?
Coleman
and Martha

Edwin (or Edward) Henry
DUNHAM
died in CO on 10 June 1890. Where? He was my Grandmother Josephine
Dunham's
Father; the husband of Zerelda
Cutting
;
married in Rice County, KS on 31 July 1873; Josephine was born
there on 31 July 1874. Josephine's sister Harriett (Hattie) was
born in Granada, CO on 31 January 1876. Grandmother's records
state her father was buried in Gunnison. Not so says the alpha
listing of Gunnison's cemeteries. According to "Gunnison
Review Press," 21 June 1890, he died in Colorado Springs
of Bright's disease (alcoholism) after many years in Gunnison
as caterer and hotel keeper. Zerelda divorced?/remarried ca 1880
and lived in Pueblo until her death on 28 Feb 1936. Again, where
is Edwin Henry
Dunham
buried? Do we know any more about
him? Your help is truly appreciated.

"Pete" about the 1870s or 1880s moved to CO. Was reportedly
employed in law enforcement. He was my g.grandfather's brother,

mines in MO.
Any info would be helpful in locating these men.
